Made of 100% post-consumer waste, this paper weed mat is chemical-free and can be tilled right into the soil at season's end. Ideal for use in the vegetable garden, it can be cut to fit around your plants and helps retain soil moisture as well as keep weeds down. Not intended for use in paths.

The recycled kraft paper and garden staples have reduced the labor required for keeping weeds down by 80-90 percent. At the end of the season I just till the remaining paper back into the soil to break-down over the Winter. I just bought four more rolls for 2015 veggie garden.

I put it on the bottom of my raised bed to kill the grass. Added top soil and planted. used news paper in the past this was so much easyier this fall I will till it in. It's pretty thick dont think any grass is going thru it.

I USED THIS FOR FIRST TIME AND I LOVE IT. NO HOEING, IT WORK WONDERFUL, I'M ORDERING MORE FOR NEXT YEARS GARDEN. I PLANTED GROUND THAT HAD NOT BEEN PLANTED IN SEVERAL YEARS WITH LOTS OF GRASS AND WEEDS. IT'S STILL WORKING KEEP GRASS AND WEEDS OUT.

First put the product down about six weeks ago and so far, no weeds. I also did newspaper in another area, and it has some weeds. This is a great product and I have ordered more, but be aware that it is a stiff product and will go down best where you have open space. I will continue to use newspaper where plants are close toghether.

Used this last year for my melon patch and found it very helpful in keeping out weeds and keeping the melons off the soil (but plan to add the cradles this year). I plan to use it elsewhere this year. Caution: anchor it well since there are no plants to hold it early in the season. I like the fact it pretty much disintegrated at the end of the season.

This product is very useful with regards to killing weeds and creating a new garden bed by covering it in mulch and compost. The only problem is that if you are using a wheelbarrow, if you are not careful how you dump the product, you rip the paper. I have used over 10 rolls in my yard of which about an acre is gardens and I have very few weeds to contend with.
